pg_restore fails - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

    Debian Stretch
    PG 9.5.1

I am trying to pg_restore from a directory dump.

However, despite using

    --clean
    --create
    --if-exists

I am getting an error because schema PUBLIC already exists.

That schema is, indeed, included in the dump to be restored
and also cannot be omitted from either the dump or the
restore because it still contains a few relevant things which
I haven't yet moved to their own app specific schema.

I am assuming (wrongly ?) that pg_restore uses template1 to
re-create the target database. I had to re-create template1
today from template0 (as is suggested) because I erroneously
added a few tables to template1 earlier. So, the newly
created target DB will, indeed, contain a schema PUBLIC
initially.

That should not (?) matter however, because of the above
options which I would have expected to drop the schema before
(re)creating it (--clean).

Here is the log:

    sudo -u postgres pg_restore --verbose --create --clean --if-exists --exit-on-error --disable-triggers
--dbname=template1-p 5432

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but what ?

Thanks,
